The hardwood hiding in Maplewood homes
Houses built through the 1950s and 60s commonly have three-quarter-inch strip oak beneath later carpet. Pulling a corner back is often all it takes to learn whether you can save it, and refinishing costs far less than replacing.
Dealing with older subfloors
Mid-century framing can have dips, squeaks, and patched areas. We screw down loose boards, level high and low spots, and use the right fasteners so a new floor feels solid. That prep is what separates a nice-looking floor from one that lasts.
Solid, engineered, and refinishing options
Solid red oak is a classic match for older homes, while engineered boards work over concrete or in lower levels. Learn more on our solid hardwood and refinishing pages.
Hardwood cost in Maplewood
Refinishing is usually around $4-7 per square foot in the Twin Cities, while new installed hardwood commonly runs $8-14. Patching, stairs, and heavy stain changes add to it. We measure first and give you one written price.
How a project runs
We bring finish samples and wood species to your living room during the free estimate. For refinishing we sand, repair, stain, and apply finish in stages, with furniture moved and dust controlled. Many homeowners add new luxury vinyl in the basement at the same time.
